Household income predicts trajectories of child internalizing and externalizing behavior in high-, middle-, and low-income countries
Abstract
© 2018, The Author(s) 2018. This study examined longitudinal links between household
income and parents’ education and children’s trajectories of internalizing and externalizing
behaviors from age 8 to 10 reported by mothers, fathers, and children. Longitudinal
data from 1,190 families in 11 cultural groups in eight countries (Colombia, Italy,
Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and United States) were included. Multigroup
structural equation models revealed that household income, but not maternal or paternal
education, was related to trajectories of mother-, father-, and child-reported internalizing
and externalizing problems in each of the 11 cultural groups. Our findings highlight
that in low-, middle-, and high-income countries, socioeconomic risk is related to
children’s internalizing and externalizing problems, extending the international focus
beyond children’s physical health to their emotional and behavioral development.
